Great memories yeah! I spent many hours on board a bird like this (s/n 1056) in the 80's as flight mechanic fliying and fixing it at any place were necesary. I was great.
Today is only part of a past that, at least for me, was better than today.
Our Electra was sold to some Africa's country were, as far as I know, it was abandoned and dismantled because the engines were beyond repair.
Brings back childhood memories! The Electra was used by TEAL, (Tasman & Empire Airways Limited) the precursor of Air New Zealand, on the route between Auckland (at Whenuapai) and Sydney. The flight time was in the order of four hours. We still regularly see the Orion in NZ skies, which is a derivative of the Electra, with its superb air frame and unburstable Allison turboprops.
